I have a 4 computers network at work, one of them is a "server" which has databases that are used by a program on the other 3 computers, so on those 3 computer I have mapped a drive (v
with a shared folder from the "server", the software uses this drive (v to work.
Now we are trying to move to work at home, so I'm testing a computer at home, the driver obviously can't connect since it was on a local network, so I've been trying to map it again failing on every attempt.
Methods I've tried include: \\ip\c$\sharedfolder; \\NetBios\shared folder; \\ip\shared folder; \\NetBios\c$\sharedfolder.
I've set up an ftp server with HFS on server, when I try to connect I can see on HFS the computer trying to connect (requesting) but after a while I get a failed attempt.
I can ping server from the computer successfully. All computers have the same group name. All computers are on Windows XP service pack 3. As I said, everything works fine on the local network,
Due to the nature of the software I use I do need to have the drive mapped, all the data is created at the "server" and the software create tables and stats from the databases on the server.
Thanks for any help.
